Tropics in the middle of Europe? Easy! No, no, you heard right, the largest amusement park Tropical Islands, located in Germany. Once here, you can forget about everything: year-round summer, artificial sea, man-made beaches and shores buried in greenery. And all this is on a huge territory (360 m long, 210 wide and 107 high), because the former airship hangar serves as the premises for the amusement park.
The size of the park is truly impressive: it could easily accommodate the New York Statue of Liberty or the Parisian Eiffel Tower. In the numerous green corners of the Tropical Islands, you can find banana trees, coffee bushes, lianas and other exotic plants, of which there are about 500 species. Part of the dome is glazed, so the plants feel quite comfortable, warmed by the sun's rays.
The park has several themed areas. The rainforest comes close to a real tropical village, stylized as Thailand and Bali. There is also the South Sea, a 140-meter pool, where the water temperature is always kept at 28 ° C. For those who like warmer water, the Laguna is suitable, where the water temperature is 32 ° C, and there are also many fountains, artificial currents and water slides.
The complex works all year round and 24 hours a day, it is ready to receive up to 8 thousand visitors a day. Entertainment includes a 25-meter water slide, a mini golf course, gourmet bars and restaurants, a shopping pavilion and playgrounds.
